SellMyVote
Mobile-first political awareness tool that puts a real price on governance choices, powered by GPT-4o analysis.
THE PROBLEM
Voters are asked to weigh political choices in the abstract — promises, personalities, party lines. The financial consequence of those choices, the part that eventually shows up in everyone's cost of living, is buried in documents almost nobody reads.
THE APPROACH
Framed the whole product around a single provocative question — what is a vote actually worth — and made the analysis concrete and personal rather than editorial.
Used Azure OpenAI (GPT-4o and o1) to turn dense governance and budget material into plain-language explanation, with reasoning models reserved for the analysis that genuinely needs the extra depth.
Designed mobile-first, because the electorate being reached browses on phones; charts via Recharts and exportable PDF summaries via jsPDF so findings can travel beyond the site.
Shipped it as a companion to NepalReforms rather than a standalone novelty, so curiosity has somewhere substantive to lead.
STACK
OUTCOME
Gave voter education a hook that travels — an argument people can see the arithmetic behind rather than be lectured on, and share with a number attached.
